Outback Steakhouse Is Celebrating National Onion Day With Free Bloomin’ Onions – The Daily Meal

Outback Steakhouse is, as indicated by its name, primarily a steakhouse. So, it’s obvious steak would be a key part of its menu, right? While that’s true, if you ask a random person on the street what the first thing that comes to mind is when you say “Outback Steakhouse,” there’s a good chance they’ll say, “Bloomin’ Onions.”

If you don’t know what a Bloomin’ Onion is, think of a large onion that’s peeled and cut to resemble a flower then deep-fried until the thing is crispy and golden-brown like an onion ring. According to Outback Steakhouse’s own reports, guests order an incredible 8 million Bloomin’ Onions annually! And it would seem this astronomical number is about to get even higher, considering Outback Steakhouse’s announcement that it’s giving away free Bloomin’ Onions as part of National Onion Day.

On June 27, People explains, all customers have to do to get their hands on a free Bloomin’ Onion is head to their local Outback Steakhouse and mention National Onion Day to their server when they order their entrée (kids’ meals and other deals excluded). Just by mentioning the holiday, customers will receive one colossal deep-fried onion for their table at no charge. However, it’s only one per table. So, unless you have a convoluted plan with your friends to split up and grab as many fried onions as possible — we don’t recommend this — you’ll only be getting one free Bloomin’ Onion.

Given that Outback Steakhouse’s most popular appetizer is a giant 1-pound onion, it shouldn’t be a surprise the chain has observed National Onion Day before. While this year’s celebration is giving out a free Bloomin’ Onion, Outback Steakhouse has previously commemorated this particular holiday in some unconventional ways, most notably in 2022.

Last year, to celebrate National Onion Day ’22, Outback Steakhouse gave away free Bloomin’ Onions and Dr. Pepper, provided you were the proud holder of a Bloomin’ Bud N.F.T. These non-fungible tokens depicted the “life” of a Bloomin’ Onion from its infancy as a baby onion through adolescence to its maturity as a full-grown adult — Australian Outback hat and all. The digital tokens ran out in 20 minutes, perhaps a sign of Outback Steakhouse’s mastery of the N.F.T. market, or maybe people were just encouraged by the promise of a free appetizer and soda.

Even if it’s not National Onion Day, though, you can still get yourself one free Bloomin’ Onion whenever you want. All you have to do is sign up for Outback Steakhouse’s rewards program and earn a free Bloomin’ Onion just for doing so. This is, again, a one-time-only deal. So, unless you keep signing up using different e-mails — again, we don’t recommend this — you’re only entitled to one free Bloomin’ Onion. But hey, a free appetizer is better than paying for one, right?
